The charges being filed on Friday are connected to an encounter with Irish-Zimbabwean singer Lucia Evans. She alleges Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2004, according to The New York Daily News.

A statue of limitations does not apply in this scenario because of the nature of the allegations.

Evans broke her silence in a story for The New Yorker in 2017. She was an aspiring actress who was approached by Weinstein at a club in 2004. Weinstein promised her potential future roles before forcing her to have sex with him in his office.

“I said, over and over, ‘I don’t want to do this, stop, don’t,’” Evans said. “I tried to get away, but maybe I didn’t try hard enough. I didn’t want to kick him or fight him.....he’s a big guy. He overpowered me.”

She continued in the story saying, “I just sort of gave up. That’s the most horrible part of it, and that’s why he’s been able to do this for so long to so many women: people give up, and then they feel like it’s their fault.”
